Abby Lee Miller Breaks Silence on Prison Sentence

“A year and a day,” the 50-year-old reality star said. “It sounds like a movie title.”

After prison, Abby said she hopes to “be a smarter businesswoman and also to worry about myself.”

“I have spent so much time and so much energy making other people’s children stars. I didn’t have any children of my own…These were my kids and I raised them like they were my kids,” she continued. She claims her fraud charges were unintentional, saying, “I wasn’t ever trying to hurt anyone.” Abby was charged with trying to hide $775,000 of money made off of the Lifetime series.

She must surrender herself in 44 days and is going to get through the sentence by pretending it’s a film shoot. “I’m just going to pretend we’re shooting a movie and we’re on set and I’m there for 10 months, and that’s the way it’s going to be.”
